It was a windy cold weekend. I was wearing a long underwear shirt and sweatpants all weekend, till yesterday afternoon when suddenly inexplicably, invisibly, it got warm again. Just in time for the workweek.
Below is a picture of a bug from our yard. Wife found it, I took the winning shot.
I don’t know what kind of bug it is.
Got a good buncha bananas coming, on a good, strong straight tree. The last two batches, the tree fell over, and we got about half the bananas we could have.
And I’m off to work, hopeful for a productive week!
My wife got a great video of a woodpecker in our birdbath. Used with her permission.
I think it’s amazing. Those same woodpeckers come and hammer on our aluminimum gutters and make quite the racket. Other than that, I don’t see them much
Last night I woke up for a pee about 1 AM. Then I went back to sleep and woke up later, and it was midnight. I very plainly and obviously went through a time warp. I gained an extra hour (at least) of sleep.
Clever coffee cup
Starter fluid, that’s what coffee should be called. Why didn’t I think of that?
Today, Ash Wednesday, is a holiday here. Hence we have the day off. It rained this morning, and it’s my Moms birthday. My Moms birthday isn’t always on a Wednesday though, and Ash Wendesday is.
Get yer hankies ready, “cause you will be soggy-eyed by the time you finish this tale of woe, if not wailing uncontrollably.
When I was 5, in kindergarten, there was morning kindergarten and afternoon kindergarten. I had morning kindergarten.
(Why is it kindergarTen and not kindergarDen? What is a garTen anyway? A garden is a place where you put your kids out to pasture, so they don’t bother you as much. Kindergarden is “kinder” like that.)
So anyway, one day in kindergarten, we made kites. Everyone made their own kite out of colored paper. Then we went out in the playground and flew them.
I was flying my kite, and all of a sudden, I couldn’t see any more kites like mine. I started crying and a teacher came up and asked me what was wrong. “I can’t find anyone with a kite like mine!” I moaned.
Turns out, morning kindergarten was over, I was so into flying my kite, I didn’t notice when everyone in my class mustered, and went home.
But that’s not the sad part. The sad part is that it happened again, yesterday.
I get off work at 4:30. Yesterday, I was at my desk, working, and I looked at my watch and it was 4:45! I wasn’t even packed up to go home yet! It was almost 5 by the time I got outta there!
Console yourselves, because after dinner last night and a good nights sleep, I’m almost fully recovered from this horrible incident. I might need to seek professional counselling later on, as may you, but together, we’ll just cross those bridges as they come.
I’m sorry for upsetting you so.
Try to have a good day after reading this. It’ll be tough, but I have faith that you can do it!
Last Monday, I posted thatI thought I was getting over this cold. Well, I guess I;m still “gettin’ over It”.because it is really hanging on. It’s not too bad in the daytime, but at night it tickles my throat and I cough and cough. Las night I slept propped up on a wedge of pillows and slept muvh better.
It was a good weekend. Went to a wedding. Recorded a conventioin and now it’s back to work.
